GOLF STARS would Extend WORLD'S BEST Our Champions All eyes for the past week in the golfing fraternity have been on the prospective competitors for the State title. The finest as- sociates from every club have gone through a gruelling test in the qualifying rounds. IT is difficult for non-combatants, so to speak, to appreciate the mental strain this match play involves, the concentration necessary to achieve the end, preceded by weeks of arduous prac- tice in order to strike form. In golf, more than in any other sport, one false stroke may mean the dividing line between failure and success, be- tween being an "also-ran" and "qualify- ing." Watching the prospective champions in action at Kensington last week, one felt that our leading players to-day &amp;nbsp; would hold their own with the star golfers of England and U.S.A. The standard of women's golf in Australia as a whole is very high, and perhaps highest of all in N.S.W. Why Not Golf Tests? There is the graceful Miss Odette...

Suburban "Teams" Aid Health Scheme THE "Drive" of the Suburbs, organised by Mrs. Sydney Herring, to assist the Far West Children's Health Scheme Building Fund, seems to have caught the public fancy, for it is scarcely a month since the first "team" was formed, and already five are working in Longueville, Killara, Wahroonga, Manly and Croy- don, while the committee is busily engaged on others in Mosman, Strath- field, Randwick, Darling Point and Rose Bay. Through Killara (Capt. Mrs. Guy Griffith) a successful gala performance took place at the Gordon Theatre, which resulted in over £80 being raised. This team has also held several smaller func- tions, and others are following. Longueville held an all-day tennis tournament at Lane Cove, and Croydon (Captain, Mrs. Scherrenberg) recently organised a ball. Other teams are busy organising en- tertainments for the funds.

MAORI MAY BE FIRST WOMAN M.P. Dame Rumor whispers that Mrs. Rewa Bennett, J.P., may de- cide to contest the Northern Maori seat as an Independent candidate. Owing to her prestige as a member of the famous Ngapuhi tribe, and her activities on behalf of the native race, she stands a good chance of securing election. Thus it may happen that New Zealand's first woman member of Parliament will be a Maori.

DRESSING the WARDROBE "Well, and how do you like it?" asked an American girl friend when I called in to see her the other day. The "it" was the wardrobe, the doors of which showed the inside panels lined with a beigey chintz, gaily patterned in pinks and reds, on which she had sewn eight pockets to take care of her four pairs of evening shoes, and two longer, slimmer pockets, one for her umbrella and the other for her sunshade. Her dress bags (which were of trans- parent material) instead of being joined from toe to neck, so to speak, had a long zip fastener. This, as she pointed out, enabled the bag to be opened almost flat, and the dresses to be encased with- out any risk of crushing. As an extra protection against dust, she had hung before the bags a curtain in rose pink poplin. Her hat-boxes she had covered with a cream and silver striped wall-paper. And, as a finishing touch, she had dressed the wardrobe shelf with a valance of the rose pink poplin, scal- loped after the manner...
